GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Russell Wilson threw for three touchdowns, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 34-22 last night.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Roberto Luongo made 25 saves and the Vancouver Canucks shut out the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 last night. Brad Richardson, Chris Higgins and Ryan Stanton scored for the Canucks, who are off to their best start since opening 2005 at 6-1-1.
